Consistency between definitions and measurement of mindfulness in eating and physical activity behavior: a scoping review.

Mindfulness (i.e., relating to one's internal and external awareness with non-evaluative attitudes) is increasingly applied as a determinant and strategy to change dietary and physical activity behaviours in the general adult population.

Examining socio-cognitive factors and beliefs about mindful eating in healthy adults with differing practice experience: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Mindful eating (ME), defined as a "non-judgmental awareness of bodily and emotional sensations regarding food consumption", may be a promising strategy to promote healthy eating behaviors. However, little is known about the psychosocial factors and underlying beliefs that explain ME adoption.

Methods: Participants (N = 282; M = 43.

A Protection Motivation Theory Approach to Understanding How Fear of Falling Affects Physical Activity Determinants in Older Adults.

Objectives: This study applied an extended Protection Motivation Theory to investigate the relative importance of fear of falling (FoF) among motivational and intentional determinants of physical activity (PA) behavior.

Methods: Older U.S.

COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy: The Role of Information Sources and Beliefs in Dutch Adults.

COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy may be regarded as a new pandemic hindering the elimination of or coping with COVID-19. This study assessed reasons for COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy using the I-Change Model (ICM) by considering the role of informational and psychosocial factors. A cross-sectional online survey using a convenience sample was conducted among Dutch adults ( = 240).

Predicting Decisional Determinants of Physical Activity Among Older Adults: An Integrated Behavior Approach.

ObjectivesThe present study applied the Integrated Behavior Change Model to investigate how behavioral decisions are predicted, namely, intention, planning, and habits, with respect to physical activity. Participants were older adults (ages 65+) residing in the U.S.

Development and Validation of the Four Facet Mindful Eating Scale (FFaMES).

Objectives: Previous mindful eating scales stress the attentional domains of eating-specific mindfulness, such as present-moment attention to homeostatic cues of hunger and satiety while discounting other important domains such as non-judgment and decentering. The purpose of the series of studies was to develop and evaluate a multifaceted mindful eating scale that assesses several domains of eating-specific mindfulness.

Methods: A multistep process was used to construct the Four Facet Mindful Eating Scale (FFaMES).

Differences and similarities of physical activity determinants between older adults who have and have not experienced a fall: Testing an extended health belief model.

Purpose: Experiencing a fall can be a detrimental experience for older adults and may affect an individual's beliefs about participating in future physical activity (PA) behavior. The purpose of this study was to identify if determinants of PA differ between older adults who have a history of a fall (HF) and those with no history of a fall (NHF) within the Health Belief Model (HBM), expanded through the constructs of intention and habit.

Materials And Methods: Participants (N = 667) were community-dwelling older adults who completed online measures of original HBM determinants (beliefs, barriers, self-efficacy, cues, and perceived threat variables) related to participating in PA in addition to past PA behavior and intention.
